Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

勉强给四星，达叔依然打酱油。比搞笑程度保证是不如周星驰版本的，全片的配乐都不错，知道什么情节配什么音乐，为影片加分不少。
作为正版授权翻拍，不毁经典；
还不错啊，虫战那一段有星际舰队的感觉。女主好美啊，就是大Boss没劲。
在网大里还算可以吧，达叔遗作的宣传噱头稍有夸张
作为网络电影蹭情怀 这一部可以中规中矩 剧情大可不必多说 拍来拍去也只能那样 更多的经典续写 反而是亵渎 这一点参照刘镇伟的大话西游4 人物看的过去 没有星爷电影的节奏感 但是演员们也没有让其反感 这一点给选角导演加鸡腿 达叔的加盟也是全剧的点睛之笔 希望类似的网络电影可以效仿 不要为了炒冷饭而炒冷饭 多用心一点 网络电影也可以慢慢拥有电影市场的一席之地
作为网剧还行，不过也就2星半，炒大话西游的冷饭，但只有皮毛而已，好在男主和女主还行，达叔也不错，也是告别之作了。
老戏新唱，却跳不出局限，如果不是对达叔的那份情怀，索然无味。
5.7_大话西游之缘起 (2022)
本来是喝酒的时候想着一群人边喝酒边吐槽一下这个可能的又一部蹭情怀的烂片，没想到不仅不算烂片，而且比90%这个ip系列拍的都要有诚意和认真，虽然是一部网大，但所有的情节也好，表演也好，制作也好都不糊弄，很重要的是紫霞真的是好看，不是那种统一做出来的网红脸，并且还有演技，这个一般人不敢挑战的角色她完成的非常好，这是一个很重要的加分点
在众多网大中属于能看的那种，但也是得益于大话西游的故事本身就很好，紫霞和至尊宝还是能骗我…至少一点点击量。全片最值得一看的确实是达叔的部分，其他时候就是靠一些不好笑的烂梗…尬得我脚趾抓地，2022年了还在玩“下面”的梗，编剧回去回炉重造吧。
穷得让人心酸，但是故事真的还不错。。。如果有钱好好拍拍就好了，我喜欢这个剧本，多给编剧一颗星
网大做成这样在同行的衬托下可以说是业内良心了，从紫霞视角补充了紫霞为什么这么深情至尊宝为什么能拔出紫青宝剑，看来创作者们是大话西游的粉丝
作为网大，拍得真心不错，比之前的院线好看多了
期待下一部！
但是在细节的处理还是网飞剧的配置，剧情上总觉得这只猴子的情感缺少了什么，最重要的是反派的口音实在是让人无法接受！！！希望大话西游不要再被消费了，我心中的至尊宝和紫霞仙子就留在那个城楼上吧。
最后演员表达叔名字被框起来，泪目了。
努力保持原来的风格，景物、装扮，故事上也算努力看齐了，剧情中规中矩的，主角太认真了，没有体会到星爷的癫，毕竟一个人一个风格，不过还是谢谢用心了！怀念达叔！！想去再刷一遍《大话》了。
致敬达叔，作为网络电影质量可以的，特效也不坑人，剧情嘛勉强过得去
为了女主多加颗星，蛮漂亮的。男主就有点不行了。
心念念的东西，求而不得，现实与梦想的背道，还有那愁中的乐，再续经典之作，为咋天的梦，此时的感受，5星！
